BUT TRUELY WORTH IT!!!

Oh Georges Bizet, you are our hero! Pure genious!! We  know and love Carmen but  Les pêcheurs de perles - The Pearls Fisher- which we obviously heard of (It's his first opera), we have never seen! So, we were clearly excited to be invited to the premier held at the glamorous Tel Aviv Opera House.

The world premier of THE PEARLS FISHER was held in Paris , September 1863. Unfortunatly none of us were born at that time but luckily the show lives forever and now we get to enjoy it here, in amazing Tel Aviv.

This beautiful opera was conducted by the talented and famous Steven Sloane (originally from LA).

The opera takes place in a small fishermans wharf in Sri Linka. Two fishermen, Nadir and Zurga, childhood friends, fall inlove with the same woman but did not want their love for her to ruin their friendship. Leila is that woman. In her title and position (goddess ) she is not allowed to have any contact with men, she has to stay pure. Well, this is an opera as you know, and there must be drama, so obviously Leila falls inlove...with Nadir and he is inlove with her as well and to find out what happens you must see the show!! No Spoilers !
Bizet's original operas (at his time) were accepted by audiences. These days , as we all know and truly don't admit, the audience prefers REALITY. Reality over beautiful legends. So this adaptation of the Opera has just that: a perfect mix of an opera from the 1800's and the reality age of the 2000's.

One more super unique point is that the choir in this opera plays a very important role. They are present almost through out the whole opera on stage and they play an important role in the progression of the story.

The power is within the people themselves, they choose their leader, Zorga, and  in conclusion they are the ones who decide and demand their rules (the death sentance).

Playing Leila is the magnificent Christina Pasaroiu (Romanian), Nadir played by Alexei Dolgov, Zurga played by Nikolai Mikhailovich.

The show is absolutely magnificent with wonderful staging and glorious costumes.  You are deeply touched again and again with the intensity of passion, love and despair.

"Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the back and instead of dying he sings"- Robert Burns
"No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when feeling sensible" -W.H. Auden

If you are looking for authentic Jewish Eastern European food then KETON restaurant is EXACTLY where it's at.

Keton has been a trademark restaurant in Tel Aviv since the 1940's. Many of Keton's regulars were famous writers, painters, artists and actors. Keton kept a guest book throught all the years where important Israeli figures drew pictures, wrote poems and love letters. People such as Menashe Kadishman, Yigal Tumarkin and many more wrote in the guest book.  All these wonderful memories are displayed on the restaurant's wall. Such a unique treat!!!

We started with the FISH ROE SALAD- light , fluffy and perfectly made, CHOPPED LIVER -seriously cannot get any better!, VARENIKIS- melt in your mouth delicious, Home Made PICKLED VEGETABLES , BREAD AND VEGETARIAN KNISH.

For our main dishes- THE VEAL TONGUE with side dishes of mashed potatoes and givetch was decadent and delicious, SOLE FISH SCHNITZEL with side dishes of mashed potatoes and givetch, crunchy, meaty, and fun to eat (especially for kids) , BEEF IN GRAVY with a side dish of mashed potatoes and steamed cabbage- fantasticly cooked and seasoned perfectly.

For our sweet tooth we ordered the major delicious BISCUIT CAKE- sweet, creamy and light ,the FRUIT COMPOTE- a wonderfully fresh dessert made out of whole or pieces of fruit in sugar syrup. The fruits are cooked in water with sugar and spices. Very refreshing and healthy!

Keton serves cuisine that didn't only made love to our palates but also satisfied our tummies as well. Cozy and unpretentious, Bohemian  smart and homemade  yet you can still watch all the chic passerbyers on dizengoff street , absolutely pleasurable in every way. Top notch food and wonderful service where long time loyal customers come every weekend as well as new hungry , interested clients as well!
